Sorry I haven't posted in the last decade or so...anyway, I've been seeing a lot of movies as of late, because I got a job at my local theater. I see everything we get, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Then I write reviews on my site www.greenhatreviews.com, but I thought I'd post the title and the star ratings for everything I've seen this summer so far, and leave a link if you wanted to read more.

Man that sounds like the best job in the whole world.
I haven't seen all those movies, but I think I'd probably agree with you on most except for Terminator Salvation. I liked it pretty good.

Star Trek was definitely a classic. The best of the summer.

yeah i was really excited for terminator, and i loved the opening action sequence. i guess i'm mainly just tired of terminator movies that JUST set up MORE terminator movies, i'm ready for the definitive terminator flick. also, a lot of the subplots, like the robot-human romance, i have seen before. take battlestar galactica for instance, it had the EXACT same thing with a robot and a human, only i thought it was a better relationship in galactica.__________________

yeah, district 9 is amazing.
the weekend's other movies...not so much.

That's a good line. Funny. Besides I can tell by the title that it probably sucked.

I saw Star Trek. It was good, but I had problems with it. Being a fan of the original series and characters, there were a lot of things that weren't right. For one thing I didn't like the way Captain Kirk acted. He wasn't that way at all.

I get what your saying about Kirk, but at the same time I think it worked as a younger Kirk we've never seen before.

Yes, and there were some agreeable changes to the characters, all of which I felt were intentional changes to throw something new at audiences. Ultimately, too, I think he's the same guy at heart, and lest we forget, this is a new timeline for the Trek universe, so it will be a little different.
